At the Portland Museum of Art this month, Celeste Henriquez shows her daughter, Abigail Henriquez Peck, the paintings she made that were inspired by her. Abigail recently moved back to Maine but she lived in New Hampshire during most of the pandemic, and her mother could only visit infrequently and for an hour at a time.

.- Employees of the Whitney Museum of American Art are the latest group of museum workers in the city to take steps toward forming a union.
They are also the most recent example of museum employees who have chosen to organize under the wing of a union not everyone would associate with the art world: the United Automobile Workers.
A petition asking for a union vote was filed Monday with the National Labor Relations Board by the Technical, Office, and Professional Union, Local 2110 UAW.
